Introducing the AmazonLinks Plugin for Geeklog

We’re happy to announce the release of the AmazonLinks Plugin, a lightweight and practical addition for Geeklog users who want to enrich their articles with relevant affiliate links automatically.

🔍 What It Does

The plugin scans each article’s content for specific keywords defined in a configuration file and displays a small block of stylish, clickable buttons linking to relevant Amazon products. It’s ideal for blogs, review sites, or any publication that wants to recommend related books, tools, or resources — while generating affiliate revenue effortlessly.

⚙️ Key Features

• Automatic keyword detection: Finds matching terms in the article body.
• Customizable configuration: Keywords, labels, and URLs are managed in a single file (amazonlinks_config.php) located in the /data directory.
• Affiliate tag support: Append your own Amazon affiliate tag easily.
• Modern design: Clean, blue call-to-action buttons optimized for click-throughs.
• Safe and simple: No database tables or dependencies.
• Full Geeklog integration: Works directly through the standard template hook system.

🧩 Installation

1. Upload the plugin folder to your /plugins/ directory.
2. Install it from the Plugin Administration Panel in Geeklog.
3. Copy the provided amazonlinks_config.php file to your /data directory and adjust the keywords, titles, and affiliate tag to match your site.
4. Edit your article template to include the variable {amazonlinks} below the story body section.

That’s it — the plugin will automatically add your affiliate block below your articles.

🧠 Example Use Case

If your article mentions “business strategy”, “finance”, or “leadership”, the plugin can automatically insert relevant buttons such as: “Recommended Business Books” or “Top Leadership Guides” — each linking to Amazon products you’ve configured.
